      It’s a remodel, but regardless, we aren’t chipping a 40 yard slab up

          This is what I’m talking about

            My 18 yr old and a few of his friends work for a small construction/demolition company here in Houston. He was on one of those jackhammers for two weeks. Came home every day soaked, dirty and whooped!! He liked the checks though so he was back out the door this morning.

                  When we have turnarounds, there is usually a trend of excuses for each job.

                  One project about 10-15 guys had court dates, one job had about 10 grandparents pass away, and the most recent was car trouble everybody on the crew had car trouble at least once some even twice. Food poisoning is a very common one as well.

                    I'll never forget the time that the hotwater heater went out in my attic, and the guy that I called out to fix it refused to replace it that day, because "it's hot up there."

                        Those boys didn't get forced into manual labor as a child otherwise theyd be pointing fingers or still in school

                            You think having a young laborer is bad. Try working for contractors who hire little college nerds and put them in charge of a project that they’ve never done. I’d rather deal with a crappy laborer than deal with one of these kids that thinks his diploma is means he knows everything. They don’t know **** lol
